Well now, when it comes to football, one man has for many years been the most noticeable, the most controversial, and occasionally the most successful blogger this country has ever produced. His pithy words and abrasive style make him as famous off the pitch as he is on it. This man is Escapini. "I love football. Football she's a cruel mistress. She's, she's more than a mistress. She's a wife, she's a mother, she's a daughter, she's an errant child. She's a… she's a… she can make you laugh, she make you cry. She can bring tears me eyes. She can bring blood to me shoulders. She can bring a kettle to the boil." "Cause football is about nothing, unless it's about something and what it is about, is football."

Benzema’s Master Blaster Only Makes Jose Scowl [quick vid]

Karim Benzema has been on the wish list of a few Premiership sides, namely Arsenal and Tottenham.

Asenal appeared to lose interest pretty swiftly and opted for Gervinho. Spurs however appear to be playing somewhat of a waiting waiting game. Tottenham were linked with the Real Madrid striker last January in a mooted loan move. This obviously didn’t happen and word from Los Blancos was that Benzema who had been out of favour was now earning plaudits from The Special One.

Spurs continue to be linked with Real Madrid be it Benzema or Adebayor. One thing is certain, Spurs could do with a new striker. Preferably two.
